Brian--

Cobbled together a listing of Canadian survivors/part survivors (there are a number of composites and nose sections); there were over fifty not taking into account the fair number of RCAF T-birds flown in the USA (nor, actually, the two NRC ones in Ottawa).

In 1984 I viewed a substantial cache of T-33 parts at a private facility east of Toronto; some of the fifty-plus IDs come from there, though there were no complete T-birds on site. At least two nose sections from that group have gone to other collections since.

In the pylon bird stakes, I expect it's safe to say that, in Canada at least, the T-bird is king! Certainly are a lot of them on sticks, as Ed Solonyka's website shows...
